Kentucky Fried . . . meatless Chicken?

The restaurant chain is testing vegan fried "chicken" in one of its Atlanta locations. The plant-based chicken, made by Beyond Meat, will be available as nuggets with KFC sauce or boneless wings tossed in either Nashville hot, buffalo or honey barbecue sauce.

If you live in the Atlanta area, you can get a free taste of the chicken at the Cobb Parkway location until 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

KFC will evaluate customer feedback from the Atlanta test to determine whether it wants to roll out a larger test or debut the chicken nationally.

Beyond Meat can also be found at TGI Fridays, BurgerFi, Bareburger, Veggie Grill, Carl's Jr., A&W, Del Taco and Dunkin'.

Burger King is making the 'Impossible Whopper' available at every U.S. location
